Expanding Saltaire Brewery has clinched its first national supermarket listing.

From next week its Saltaire Blonde bottled ale will be stocked in 84 Waitrose stores.

Tony Gartland, Saltaire’s managing director, said: “We’ve been supplying Waitrose regionally but this national listing is a very significant win and a first for us. We’re also looking forward to introducing one of Yorkshire’s most popular beers to a much wider audience.”

Kate Prall, Waitrose beer buyer, said: “As champions of British food and produce, we think Saltaire Blonde, brewed in the heart of Yorkshire and one of the region’s most popular beers, is a great addition to our beer range nationally.”
